Why I did it
In the configuration of rsyslog, duplicate messages will be suppressed and reported in the format of message repeated n times.
Due to this behavior, if a critical process in a container exited unexpectedly, the alerting message will be written into syslog once
and not be written into syslog anymore until the second critical process exited. This PR aims to differentiate these alerting messages such that they will not be suppressed by rsyslogd and can appear in the syslog periodically.
How I did it
This PR adds a counter into the alerting message and shows how many minutes a critical process was not running.

Update topology script to retrieve hwsku from minigraph
if hwsku information is not available in config_db.
Fix clean up of interfaces in msft_multi_asic_vs hwsku
topology script.
- Why I did it
When bringing up multi-asic VS switch, topology service is started during boot up.
Topology service starts a shell script which runs the topology script present in /usr/share/sonic/device// directory. To invoke hwsku specific script, the topology script tries to retrieve hwsku information from config_db.
During initial boot up config_db might not be populated. In order to start topology service before config_db is updated,
update topology script to get hwsku information from minigraph.xml if it is available.
This will be helpful to bring up multi-asic VS testbed by loading minigraph and starting topology service.
- How I did it
Update topology.sh script to retrieve hwsku information from minigraph.xml.
Fix clean up function on msft_multi_asic_vs toplogy script.
- How to verify it
single-asic VS - no change; topology service is only enabled for multi-asic VS.
multi-asic VS - Bring up multi-asic VS image, copy minigraph to vs image, start topology service. Topology service should be successful.
to test clean up function fix, start topology service - make sure interfaces are created and moved to the right namespaces.
stop topology service - make sure namespace do not have any interface and all front end interfaces are present in default namespace.
- What I did
All SWSS dependent services should stop before SWSS service to avoid future possible issues.
For example 'teamd' service will stop before to allow the driver unload netdev gracefully.
This is to stop all LAG's before restarting syncd service when running 'config reload' command.
- How I did it
Change the order of dependent services of SWSS.
- How to verify it
Run 'config reload' command.

[multi_asic][vs]: Add dependency in teamd service to start after topology service.
- Why I did it
In multi-asic VS, topology service is run after database service to set up the internal asic topology.
swss and syncd have a dependency to start after topology service is run so that the interfaces are moved to right namespace and created in the right namespace. In case of multi-asic vs, during the initial boot up, when there is no configuration added, teamd service starts and swss/syncd do not start as topology service does not start. Upon loading configuration using config_db or minigraph, swss and sycnd start up , but teamd is not restarted as swss is not stopped and started. This causes teamd to be in a bad state and requires a reload of config.
- How I did it
Add dependency in teamd service to start after topology service is completed.
- How to verify it
No change in single asic vs or platform.
No change in multi-asic regular image.
Change only in multi-asic VS. Bring up a multi-asic VS image without any configration, teamd service will fail to start due to dependency failure. Load minigraph, start topology service, load configuration, ensure all services come up.

A few issues where discovered with crashkernel on Arista platforms.
1) platforms using `docker_inram=on` would end up OOM in kdump environment.
This happens because the same initramfs is used by SONiC and the crashkernel.
With `docker_inram=on` the `dockerfs.tar.gz` is extracted in a `tmpfs` created for the occasion.
Since `dockerfs.tar.gz` weights more than 1.5G, it doesn't fit into the kdump environment and ends up OOM.
This OOM event can in turn trigger a panic.
2) Arista platforms with `secureboot` enabled would fail to load the crashkernel because the kernel parameter would be discarded on boot.
This happens because the `boot0` in secureboot mode is strict about kernel parameter injection.
3) The secureboot path allowlist would remove kernel crash reports.
4) The kdump service would fail on Arista products since `/boot/` is empty in `secureboot`
**- How I did it**
1) To prevent an OOM event in the crashkernel the fix is to avoid the codepaths in `union-mount` that create tmpfs and populate them. Some more codepath specific to Arista devices are also skipped to make the kdump process faster.
This relies on detecting that the initramfs is starting in a kdump environment and skipping some initialization.
The `/usr/sbin/kdump-config` tool appends a few kernel cmdline arguments when loading the crashkernel.
The most unique one is `systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service` which is used in a few initramfs hooks to set `in_kdump`.
2) To allow `kdump` to work in `secureboot` environment the cmdline generation in boot0 was slightly modified.
The codepath to load kernel parameters changed by SONiC is now running for booting in secure mode.
It was altered to prevent an append only behavior which would grow the `kernel-cmdline` at every reboot.
This ever growing behavior would lead `kexec` to fail to load the kernel due to a too long cmdline.
3) To get the kernel crash under /var/crash this path has to be added to `allowlist_paths`
4) The `/host/image-XXX/boot` folder is now populated in `secureboot` mode but not used.
**- How to verify it**
Regular boot:
- enable kdump
- enable docker_inram=on via kernel-params
- reboot
- generate a crash `echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger`
- before: witness OOM events on the console
- after: crash kernel works and crash available under /var/crash
Secure boot:
- enable kdump
- reboot
- generate a crash `echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger`
- before: witness no kdump
- after: crash kernel works and crash available under /var/crash

Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

In scenario where upgrade gets config from minigraph, it could miss tacacs credentials as they are not in minigraph. Hence restore explicitly upon load-minigraph, if present.
- Why I did it
Upon boot, when config migration is required, the switch could load config from minigraph. The config-load from minigraph would wipe off TACACS key and disable login via TACACS, which would disable all remote user access. This change, would re-configure the TACACS if there is a saved copy available.
- How I did it
When config is loaded from minigraph, look for a TACACS credentials back up (tacacs.json) under /etc/sonic/old_config. If present, load the credentials into running config, before config-save is called.
- How to verify it
Remove /etc/sonic/config_db.json and do an image update. Upon reboot, w/o this change, you would not be able ssh in as remote user. You may login as admin and check out, "show tacacs" & "show aaa" to verify that tacacs-key is missing and login is not enabled for tacacs.
With this change applied, remove /etc/sonic/config_db.json, but save tacacs & aaa credentials as tacacs.json in /etc/sonic/. Upon reboot, you should see remote user access possible.

To limit IO and space usage on the flash device the boot0 script makes sure the SWI is in memory.
Because SONiC maps /tmp on the flash, some logic is required to make sure of it.
However it is possible for some provisioning mechanism to already download the swi in a memory file system.
This case was not handled properly by the boot0 script.
It now detect if the image is on a tmpfs or a ramfs and keep it there if that is the case.
The cleanup method has been updated accordingly and will only cleanup
the mount path if it's below /tmp/ as to not affect user mounted paths.
- How I did it
Check the filesystem on which the SWI pointed by swipath lies.
If this filesystem is a ramfs or a tmpfs the move_swi_to_tmpfs becomes a no-op.
Made sure the cleanup logic would not behave unexpectedly.
- How to verify it
In SONiC:
Download the swi under /tmp and makes sure it gets moved to /tmp/tmp-swi which gets mounted for that purpose.
Make sure /tmp/tmp-swi gets unmounted once the install process is done.
Create a new mountpoint under /ram using either ramfs or tmpfs and download the swi there.
Install the swi using sonic-installer and makes sure the image doesn't get moved by looking at the logs.

Fixes#5663
- Why I did it
It's currently possible for the SNMP timer to conflict with config reload (specifically if the timer triggers while config reload is stopping the SWSS service). config reload triggers SWSS to shutdown, which causes SNMP to shutdown, which conflicts with the SNMP timer causing SNMP to startup. See the linked issue for more details.
- How I did it
Including the After ordering dependency forces the SNMP timer to wait until SWSS finishes stopping, preventing the conflict. If there is an ordering dependency between two units (e.g. one unit is ordered After another), if one unit is shutting down while the other is starting up, the shutdown will always be ordered before the startup. In this case, that means that the SNMP timer is forced to wait for the SWSS shutdown to complete. Only then can the SNMP timer proceed. See here for more details.
It's important to note that the After dependency will not cause SWSS to be started when the SNMP timer fires (assuming that SWSS has not yet been started). The existing Requisite dependency in the SNMP service will also not cause SWSS to be started, instead it will cause the SNMP service to fail if SWSS is not active.
